Gus G., the Greek guitar virtuoso whose real name is Konstantinos Karamitroudis, won the hearts of true metal fans 25 years ago, when he blew everyone away with his guitar chops on the first three albums by power metallers Dream Evil and Mystic Prophecy, as well as on all eleven albums by his main band Firewind, which he actually founded while he was still playing with those two bands. Above all, though, Gus G. became known worldwide when none other than the Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne took him into his ranks in 2009! Gus G. recorded the Prince of Darkness’s album “Scream” with him! Gus G. played guitar for Ozzy all the way until 2017! Gus G. has also released four solo studio albums.
